How do you expect it to aver be any real-world feedback if everyone waited?

You can do the process at http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_firmware the downgrade the firmware, i.e. using a computer and USB lead etc.

Can today's firmware be reverted? PR 1.1 could not, but can this one?
*Incase* Nokia has introduced new bugs such as battery drain, rebooting, can it be reverted? This is the primary phone for many folks, so it would be a big deal...
If not, should everyone just wait a week for the real-world feedback?

Careful, it looks like they updated the same cell radio blob that they said could cause problems if you go backwards.
